Learning by teaching method is to turn the student to teacher. In this way students will be able to understand the material more than if he or she sets and listen to the teacher. At the beginning of this semester I was not so interested to do my projects by giving lessons such as Google and peer teaching project but know I found that it is the mot suitable way for the students to understand the material in it best way.
when doing the google project my part was to teach the students about what is google language tool. Surprisingly I didn’t know about Google language tool facilities except to translate texts from English to Arabic. And when I made a small survey asking the students how often they use Google language tool, I found that again they only use it only for texts translate.
as soon as i have staeted to prpare for my lesson i was so e
Going back to the topic, I highly agree that learning by teaching is the best way to let the students understand the material. To list some of the advantages for this method:
Student work is more motivated, efficient, since the student will work hard to deliver the material correctly.moreover, students will be able to experience how organize and control the students. Students also will go out of the routine things they normally do, and do completely different work.

Dubai Silicon Interview
On the 24th of November we interviewed Mrs Khlifa Khalid the senior manager of the finance department at Dubai Silicon Oasis. This interview was for our company profile project, for me it was very useful and interesting project. I didn’t know that Dubai Silicon Oasis is fully in the government sector. DSO was launched in 2004 and it is located in Dubai, it is a free trade zone technology park for semiconductor, microelectronic and other high technology-based companies. The most surprising information I got from this interview is the number of UAE nationals working there and they are 50% from the total number of employees at DSOA which is really a good number. I also found this when I was walking around the finance department most of the workers are nationals and the majority are women. Some of their activities are: comprising office tower, R&D and industrial zone, educational institution, apartment and villas, hotels, health care and a range of lifestyle facilities. Another interesting thing is what they did to overcome the crisis problem and this was by giving less credit period and asking banks to finance their customers. I was also happy to know what the foreign exchange risk is when the company buy or sell from outside the countries and how much they may gain or lose because of the currency exchange.

2012
During the eid vacation i went with my family to see the disaster film which is directed by Roland Emmerich it is '2012'. I was so interested to see this film and this is because of what I have heard about this film. The film is talking about a problem that will face the entire world except Himalaya (The Himalayan mountain system is the planet's highest and home to the world's highest peaks) and nobody knows about it except the head of state and the head of government in addition to some of the scientist that begin a massive, secret project intended to ensure the survival of humanity. The problem is that the neutrinos from a massive solar flare are acting as microwave radiation, causing the temperature of the Earth's core to increase rapidly. A series of ships was ready for around 400,000 chosen people to be constructed in the Himalayas. Most of the of tickets aboard these ships are booked for notable government officials and chosen people, while additional funding for the project is raised by selling tickets to the private sector at the price of €1 billion per person. To sum up the story or the film billions died and only and the president stayed in Washington D.C. and that to inform the people of what was happening and refused to enter the ship.
Himalaya
This is not all what happened in the film; I want to give the chance for those who didn’t see the film to see it. Finally, I liked this film but I think it is an imaginary film although in the real life the world is suffering from the earth high temperature but it is not the end of the world, because nobody knows when is the end of the world except god.
Peer teaching project (telecommunication and networking) Reflection
On the 25th of November we had our college national day celebration and we had also to present our presentation about telecommunication and networking. It was under the peer teaching project, it was really interesting to know about things that we use daily and how does it work. After this presentation I was able to know what computer network is and that it is the connection between two or more computers .in addition I have know a strong background about the types of networks such as the WAN,LAN,MAN,PAN,VPN,CAN,SAN. I was also able to know more about routers and it is a networking device that forwards packets between networks using information in protocol headers and forwarding tables to determine the best next router for each packet.
Finally and the most interesting part was the TCP/IP which is the communication protocol for communication between computers on the Internet. TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. TCP/IP defines how electronic devices (like computers) should be connected to the Internet, and how data should be transmitted between them.

Busy week
Week 12 Reflection 
Week 12 was one of the tuffest weeks at college. Starting from Sunday we submitted the accounting project then we had to submit the take home exam for the international trade on Monday which we really spend time doing it. Finally we had to work for the peer teaching project and we really worked hard for this project. We had to stay at college for Tuesday and Wednesday till 8 in the evening, it was the first time in my life to set at college and work tell this late time, I arrived home at 9pm. We did our presentation in the national day and thank to god it was a successful presentation. I will never forget those nice moments, although it was hard but challenged moment. Finally, I think that the amount of effort students put in their work they will get it in their results.

Week 10 was the busiest week I ever had during this semester. On Tuesday we did the accounting exam and on Wednesday and Thursday we had to go out from college one for an interview and the other for a school presentation. The school presentation was new type of presentation because we went to the school without at teacher and we had the responsibility to give the presentation content so that the idea of it reaches the student in its right and best way. In order to work and prepare for the interviews we used Google calendar which was so useful we shared our calendar with each other and I chose an email reminder for me. An email was sent to me to remind me about the interviews and the preparation of the questions also an email was sent me from the calendar to remind me about the accounting exam. Google docs also helped us a lot, we shared our questions we were able to edit our friends questions.
I shared my calender with my group members and I Chose a color for each member the red color was for my Salha and the green is for Shaikha while the blue is mine. the yellow on the left is for shaima which is hidden from the calender it can be shown as soon I press on it . 
here is the Google docs which have helped me allot in preparing for my interview. my group and i shared the interview questions document and we were able to edit and correct the questions for each other easily.

Mock Job Interviwe
On the 28th of October 2009 we had our mock job interview. I was so interested for this interview, I prepaid myself at home and I practiced some of the excepted interview questions to be asked with my husband. In order to be fully prepaid for the interview I also printed my job description with the cover letter in addition to that I also printed my CV. I had my interview at 1 pm it was successful interview I got nice interesting questions from the interviewer such as why did I choose the job and what do I normally do on my free time also they asked me about my opinion sending employees abroad for international studies. I passed the mock job interview with a high mark it which was 97.
Finally I think it is very important to give the students such mock exams, because it give them the opportunity to practice and improve themselves. Personally i think that the mock job interview helped me a lot on my real interview at Noor Bank interview.
